What are you doing for English P2?

Just curious as to what genres and books (excuse me...texts) people were doing for English P2...
I'm doing Drama, with The Homecoming, Medea and A Streetcar Named Desire, which aren't that bad.
Does anyone have nightmarish things to comment on??
Oh, and good luck, by the way.

I'm doing Prose: The Novel and Short Story.
The texts we studied were: Men In The Sun, Surfacing, Beloved and The Sun Also Rises....

I just hope there is a question comparing different cultures...

We ended up with:
Top Girls
Mother Courage
Death of a Salesman

Bored to death with all 3... but all have interesting themes and links to talk about I guess!
Good Luck

We did Beloved for the Oral Commentary- nightmare...I got Othello, thank god. I sympathize with the whole cultural question thing- as Medea is from whenever B.C., you can't comment on cinematic influence, stage direction, language (in translation) or anything good, and you have to learn ancient Greek dramatic terms. Bummer...

these are sooo easy... we have really stupid texts. poetry, so the general questions are usually totally inappropriate.
Dante, Inferno
Elizabeth Bishop
Gerard M. Hopkins
W. H. Auden
(these 3: "Collected Poems" etc.)
